Computer Networks

A computer network is a set of computers connected together for the purpose of sharing resources. The most common resource shared today is connection to the Internet. Other shared resources can include a printer or a file server.This course deals with fundamentals of computer network. It deals with various network models, types and OSI layers. This course provides uses of computer network, role of seven OSI layers etc.At the end of this course, the students will be able to build an understanding of the fundamental concepts of computer &computer networks, advanced networking concepts, network standards & protocols, mobile phone networks and network security etc.
